“Nothing to see here.”

From Tom & Jerry.

When Jerry the mouse sees his old nemesis, Tom the cat, performing in Central Park, he crashes Tom’s performance for the money, and then flees to the safety of the nearby Royal Gate Hotel. After being fired from another job, Kayla (Chloë Grace Moretz) sneaks into the Royal Gate to get free food from the lobby buffet. However, when a snobby woman tells Kayla that the hotel is hiring staff for the celebrity wedding of Ben (Colin Jost) and Preeta (Pallavi Sharda), she takes the woman’s impressive résumé to pass off as her own. While the perfectionist events manager, Terence (Michael Peña), is unimpressed with Kayla, his boss, Mr. Dubros (Rob Delaney), hires her immediately. Kayla is assigned to help the wedding guests with any issue that arises during the week before the ceremony. Constantly under Terence’s watchful eye, Kayla works hard and tries to get along with her many coworkers, including bellhop Joy (Patsy Ferran), bartender Cameron (Jordan Bolger), chef Jackie (Ken Jeong), and doorman Gavin (Daniel Adegboyega). When Terence realizes that Jerry is in the hotel, he assigns his removal to Kayla, but when she realizes that Tom is searching for the same mouse, she convinces Dubros to hire the cat as a mouse catcher. As the wedding draws closer, Terence grows more aggravated with Kayla and Tom, but the quick-thinking girl manages to win over everyone else at the hotel. Unable to catch Jerry while hiding from Ben’s dog (voiced by Bobby Cannavale) and trying to impress Preeta’s cat, Tom only manages to cause destructive fights throughout the hotel. Kayla calls for a truce between Tom and Jerry in exchange for a home in the hotel, and things go well for a time, but when a revenge-seeker pits the cat and mouse against each other during the wedding, it might be more than Kayla-and the hotel-can handle.

This family comedy is filled to the brim with cartoon action and side-splitting humor. The digitally cartoon Tom and Jerry are somehow seamlessly inserted into the real world with the human characters. In Tom & Jerry, Moretz leads a talented and hilarious cast that will have both new and old fans laughing from start to finish.
